If you are reading a label and it is listed as dL-arginine it is synthetic. I remember the dL in my head as "designed in a lab" therefore not natural....:)

Just for the sake of accuracy, d,l does not mean designed in lab, but refers to mirror image isomers (think of how your hands are mirror images of each other), d being a right handed molecule, l being left handed. D,l arginine would be a mixture of both forms. L-arginine is the useful form, so if using the mixed form, there is less active arginine.
